Kaleidoscope Image

Kaleidoscopes are fun and interesting toys to play with. These days any image can be created using digital imaging software. My first attempt at this was done using a bird cage outside with blue sky background. Other images using nature and black and white images could create very artistic effects. Exploring this effect could create multiple effects from one image. More to come.

Light Box - Grad Caps

A light box makes it so easy to light up the subject on 1 to 2 to 3 sides depending on the look you want to achieve. These Graduations Cap Desserts were lit from two sides and focus in the center. If I had more time that day, I would have tried some other techniques, but that will be for another time. So look for more eye catching, creative yummy desserts from Creations By Kimmi.

Day 335 - Pure Heart photograph

An artful reminder of the word of God and His continual work in our hearts as believers.

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God,
   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence
   or take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation
   and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Psalms 51:10-12

Day 296 - Eggplant Transplant

Purple flower before it dies and develops purple fruit

Eggplant fruit

Plant about 30 inches tall.

This summer I started Mr Eggplant from seed. He was happy in the herb planter until the wind  and cold came along. They thrive in warm weather. I transplanted him inside to see how he will get along inside. If successful I'm going to try (or I should say, my husband Patrick will try ;) the recipe below.

Roasted Eggplant Spread

This is not only good, it's good for you. Many years ago we developed a group of recipes that have almost no fat for customers who like to save their calories for dessert. I love to serve this alongside other Mediterranean specialties, such as hummus, pita bread, Greek olives, feta cheese, and stuffed grape leaves.

1 medium eggplant, peeled
2 red bell peppers, seeded
1 red onion, peeled
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the eggplant, bell pepper, and onion into 1-inch cubes. Toss them in a large bowl with the garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft, tossing once during cooking. Cool slightly.

Place the vegetables in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add the tomato paste, and pulse 3 or 4 times to blend.

Taste for salt and pepper.

Serve with toasted pita triangles or crackers.

Day 282 - WELCOME

O beautiful mum

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty 

never grows old.    -Franz Kafka

Playful and warm, a sign to greet family and friends into your home. I found
W in a fence rail
E in an emergency escape ladder over vines.
L in a cracked stone wall.
C in my garden of forget-me-knots.
O in with the mums.
M at the library's bike rack.
and
E in garden art.

Day 261 - Senior Portrait

Taryn

A friend from church asked me to photograph her high school senior. It turned out so well the printer refused to print them for her at first, saying they were copyrighted. Well, they weren't, but the clerk thought they outta be. What a great compliment.Thanks Angel for giving me this opportunity of photographing your precious daughter's senior portrait. She's a lovely young woman.
